Thanks, I suppose that would work. But it does seem like something that a filemask in mv would solve more neatly (I can see situations where one might not have "create new folder" permissions on the remote location). Is this something likely to appear in a future version?

The filemask switch is really useful and it would be great if this could be implemented into the move command for just this sort of situation. My need is very similar: I'd like to be able to archive all files in a folder to a subfolder and I'm obviously getting the error code 2 as this bit of my script:

tries to copy the "Processed" folder into itself...

Otherwise, as this is my first post, thank you so much for your excellent application!

It is actually not possible to combine masks this way in this context. I'll update the documentation.

Hi!
I'm trying to issue the following command (assume I'm already connected):

mv ??????-??.TXT|0911??-??.TXT archive/

the command waits a few seconds then returns to the prompt but does nothing. Basically what I'm trying to do is move all files having the above pattern EXCEPT for those files starting with 0911. The files are named YYMMDD-EC.TXT and YYMMDD-CC.TXT where YYMMDD is a date. The documentation says that I can specify an exclude mask by appending it to the include mask. Doing so does not seem to do anything. A better explanation (or better yet a real example on the documentation page) would be ideal. Thanks!
